I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 282
Seeing that she couldn't find out why, Pei Yan felt heartbroken, but Ning Pengpeng was so far away from him, no matter how many questions she had, she had to hold back.

Therefore, for Qingniang to do this, she can only nod her head in agreement.

Among the three crops, potatoes are the earliest to be dug.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

In mid-May, Pei Yan squatted on the ground excitedly, slowly picking up the first nest of potatoes with a small hoe.

Soon, potatoes the size of eggs were pulled out one by one.

Under a potato seedling, a large pile of potatoes can be dug out.

The largest ones are bigger than chicken eggs, and the smallest ones are about the size of quail eggs.

Because the potato seeds that Qing Niang brought were not many, after cutting into stems and planting, only about half of the land was planted.

But after digging all the potatoes in this half of the land, and weighing the potatoes, Pei Yan gasped.

It's a little more than a hundred catties, what kind of concept is this?
This is only half of the land. If it is one mu of land, it must not weigh more than 2000 catties?
You know, now that the highest output per mu of rice is more than 200 catties, the grain of more than 2000 catties has increased tenfold!

With these grains, why worry about the great cause not being successful?
At this moment, Pei Yan's eyes are bright.

His eyes moved to the corn and sweet potatoes that were still in the field. These two varieties were about a month later than potatoes, and they should be harvested in June.

Although it is not clear how many sweet potatoes are underground, Pei Yan can imagine such a large bunch of potatoes growing from such a piece of root on this potato, and sweet potatoes should be similar.

As for the corn, there is no need to guess. After all, there are about 1-2 corns growing on each corn stalk.

Moreover, because corn only needs to be bred with corn kernels, although the corn cobs brought by Qingniang are not more than potatoes, after breaking off the corn kernels, they are actually a bit more than potatoes.

There are more sweet potatoes, as long as the seedlings are bred, they can be planted.

When it was time to break corn and dig sweet potatoes, Third Ning also brought Liu Hu to the northern border.

This time, without Qingniang guarding him, the big guy was actually very uneasy.

However, Ning Lao San knew that there were actually a group of people secretly guarding their caravan.

Therefore, Ning Lao San is much calmer than everyone else.

Of course, he didn't know the specific situation of Qingfengwei, and he was a little uncertain.

Fortunately, however, the journey was safe.

The white sugar brought out and the sugar made in Dahuaishu Village were basically sold on the road, and by the way, many local specialties along the road were exchanged.

When it is shipped to the northern border and then sold, the price can be doubled several times.

Potato flour and sweet potato flour were also sold on the way, and most of them were kept by Ning Laosan and shipped to the northern border.

Although there are many poor people here, they can't hold back the sourness of a bowl of hot and sour noodles in this icy world.

It can be said that these potato flour and sweet potato flour were snatched up as soon as they arrived in the north.

Several large households in the northern border still left some for each of them because Ning Laosan wanted to make friends with them.

Before leaving, they kept trying to get along with Ning Laosan, asking him to bring more money next year.

Third Ning just smiled and said nothing. After all, if Qingniang had come here years ago, she would have planted all the seeds she brought with Mr. Pei's family after the spring.

If it is planted early, those harvested in the first half of the year can all be planted, and then another crop can be planted in the second half of the year.

In this case, there should be no shortage of sweet potatoes and potatoes in the northern border next year.

At that time, they didn't need to transport them all the way to the northern border to sell them, but directly sold them as fans in the northern border.

The goods in Ning Laosan's hands are almost out, leaving some vermicelli and chili powder, which he plans to take to Mr. Pei's family.

The rest is to receive the goods in the northern border, Ning Laosan handed over this matter to Wang Deyin, Ning Yongping and Liu Hu to do it together.

Then, he took the gift to Dong Pei's house alone.

However, when he walked near the courtyard where Pei Yan lived, he saw a girl in a fan dress knocking on Pei Yan's door non-stop.

Third Ning was surprised, afraid of getting into trouble, so he stood not far away and waited.

It stands to reason that if someone knocked on the door like this, someone would have come to open the door long ago.

But the girl insisted on knocking for a long time, but there was still no movement.

Pei Yunxia didn't expect that Pei Yan would be so ruthless that she didn't see her at all.

His hands were red from clapping, but he didn't respond.

There was really no other way but to turn around and leave angrily.

When passing Ning Laosan, Pei Yunxia saw the sack Ning Laosan was carrying in his hand, and Ning Laosan was only wearing fine cotton cloth.

Although it's not that kind of coarse Gebu, it doesn't look like a wealthy family either.

It's a bit like the servants of those big families. Pei Yunxia has never been patient with this kind of servants.

Thinking of the way he knocked on the door just now, he must have been seen by this vulgar servant.

Therefore, Pei Yunxia gave Ning Laosan a vicious look, his eyes full of contempt.

Her operation directly stunned Third Ning, who didn't know how she offended this girl?
Waiting until he could no longer see the girl's back, Ning Laosan stepped forward and looked at the door hesitantly.

After all, the girl knocked for so long just now, it is very likely that Dong Pei's family is not at home.

However, unexpectedly, the gate of the yard was opened with only two knocks.

It was Bai Zhu who came to open the door, and he and Ning Laosan were old acquaintances.

"Grandpa and Qingniang are harvesting sweet potatoes and corn in the field, Third Master Ning will wait for a while."

Hearing this, Third Ning suddenly laughed, and stuffed the sack into Bai Zhu's hand.

"How can I miss the work in the field?
After all, I can be considered a veteran! "

The family grows two seasons of food, whether it is coarse grains or rice, every time Ning Lao San sows the first season and harvests the second season.

Who told him to plant the seeds, and set off with the caravan after the spring.

After they went back, autumn was almost here, and the second season of coarse grains and rice could be harvested.

Therefore, Ning Laosan still knows how to break corn and dig sweet potatoes.

Bai Zhu looked at the sack stuffed into his hand, unexpectedly, the sack was quite big but not heavy, he could carry it with one hand.

Seeing that Third Master Ning entered the yard on his own, he held Ma Dan alone and closed the gate of the yard with his other hand.

In case Pei Yunxia came again and came in without hesitation when he saw the gate.

In fact, Bai Zhu didn't understand very much, the eldest lady was raised by the eldest girl Nai Nv Nai and Mrs. Shen.

It stands to reason that rules and etiquette are better than anyone else.

But today's eldest lady, she doesn't say anything, and there is still an indescribable taste.
